You're intent on setting a plan into motion, but colleagues aren't as enthusiastic and they may try to block you. You'll have to use all your powers of persuasion to change their minds. If you're launching an exercise programme, take it easy. Pushing yourself too hard could result in an injury which could put you out of action. Take things slowly so your body gets acclimated to your new routine. Listen to a professional's advice regarding your diet.

Undue worry is undercutting your love of life. If you're going to spend time with a youngster, you need to fully focus on their needs or they'll feel hurt and neglected. The same goes for romantic relationships. If you find it impossible to shake negative thoughts, you may want to get some counselling. At the very least, you have to find an outlet for your frustrations. Martial arts or kickboxing might be appealing activities to you right now.

Household responsibilities could force you to cancel a social outing. You're really tired of catering to an older relative's whims. Don't be afraid to let your displeasure known. It's about time they understood you have a life, too, and that it doesn't entirely revolve around their needs. Until you assert yourself, this pattern will continue. This isn't the best time to buy or sell property. Wait until more favourable market conditions prevail.

It may be impossible to get a straight answer out of an authority figure. Delay a project if you can or an eleventh hour decision will force you to abandon it and start afresh. Fortunately, you don't have any problems picking a course of action and then running with it. Your decisiveness could earn you a promotion. If you're looking for work, you may want to consider a high profile position involving sports, security or promotions.

Financial restrictions could prevent you from taking a trip or going to college. This isn't the best time to get entangled in a legal dispute. Even if you have a good case, you'll spend more money on court costs than you will gain in rewards. Cut your losses and move forward. A cynical person may poke fun at your moral code. Don't be embarrassed about taking a stand. In the end, people will wish they had spoken out, too.

Your forbidding attitude is causing problems in your love life. It's hard to get in the mood for lovemaking when you're in a critical mindset. Stop trying to reform people who don't want to change. An authority figure is particularly determined to work in a wildly disordered environment. If you can't stand these chaotic surroundings, it may be best to find another job. Alternatively, you can start your own business and do things your way.

Depressing thoughts could derail a relationship. If you're worried about work, you need to discuss your fears with a colleague, lover, or close friend or they'll wonder why you are pulling away. You've always had a tendency to avoid unpleasant subjects. While this makes you a fun conversationalist, it also puts a barrier between you and your loved ones when they want to know how you're really doing: good, bad or indifferent. Tell the truth.

Taking an unpopular path can be hard, even for a strong person like you. It seems silly that people feel threatened by your decisions, but they do. Perhaps your bravery makes them feel shallow. Maybe your principled stance casts a poor light on their behaviour. Whatever the reason for this hostility, you can't let it get you down. Channel your frustrations into a heavy exercise routine. Exercise will get your endorphins flowing.

It may be impossible to find a job that is worthy of your talent. There's no shame in taking a position just to pay the bills. Sure, it may be boring, but it will keep you out of debt. If you're looking for fun, devote more time to hobbies like sports, artwork and social pursuits. A youngster will be especially happy if you involve them. You may not realise it, but your opinion means the world to your young friend.

Try not to impose your values on a colleague. The two of you are very different and will usually tackle problems from different angles. This can be a positive, provided you refrain from criticising their beliefs. At times, your approach will be a winner. At others colleagues will come out on top. On the positive side, your family is impressed and pleased by your progress. It's nice to know your hard work is appreciated.

Your sex life may not be particularly gratifying right now. Maybe your partner is depressed. One of the best ways to rekindle their passion is to be a good listener. Invite them to discuss their fears. At first, they may resist your efforts, but eventually they'll come clean. It may take a few days for their reserve to melt, but you can speed the process by offering lavish compliments. Voicing your admiration will make a loved one feel valued.

A close friend or business contact may try to undermine you. Perhaps they're afraid you might fail. Maybe they don't want your current arrangement to change. Whatever their problem, it shouldn't have any effect on you. This is a wonderful time to present a business proposal. An adventurous entrepreneur could give you the funding to launch your own business. Alternatively, your positive attitude could attract an affluent client.
